Frozen Lake Drawing step by step

Step 1. Draw the Trees

First, draw two large, leafless trees with only trunks and branches standing starkly against the ice and snow. Note that these two trees are on opposite sides of the lake, so they should be spaced far apart as shown in the illustration.

Step 2. Sketch the Lake

Next, create an irregular, closed shape to outline the frozen lake in the middle or the ancient trees you just drew.

Step 3. Add Cracks

Next, draw thin, jagged cracks on the surface of the lake’s ice.

Step 4. Sketch the Snow-Covered Ground

Draw a wavy horizontal line to outline the snow-covered ground behind the lake, adding a row of leafless trees further back to create a cold winter scene.

Step 5. Add Rocks

Draw oval-shaped rocks with snow-covered tops.

Step 6. Color the Frozen Lake
